I take citalopram for anxietya nd have just been to the dentist for an infected gum behind my wisdom tooth. They have given me metronidazole tabs to take and I read somewhere that these can cause problems with citalopram. Does anybody know anythign about this?

I had written on my new patient form that I take citalopram but I'm wondering whether they read it!

I took my citalopram throughout my treatment for abscesses under bottom two wisdom teeth. I even had both wisdom teeth taken out in local hospital under general anaesthetic and continued taking citalopram throughout.

For your own peace of mind you might want to confirm it with dentist surgery.
